@magical-bakuras:

"Yes please!" Lion immediately looked completely cheered up.

There was the face Godling had been searching for. He curled his fingers tightly around Lion’s hand gave him a wink, before leading him through the shadows, through the sticky, sugary sweet and slightly congealed feeling barrier between the realms, and out onto a roof in the middle of the somber dark hour.

“I’ve let him know we’re here, he’ll come up to us.”

@magical-bakuras from X:

It had been a long time since he’d done a proper spell, but Ryou figured that he should at least make an attempt to bless his friend’s marriage. If he was remembering correctly, it was easy enough, and…

… well, maybe he wasn’t remembering correctly. There certainly was quite a lot of smoke coming off of his concoction. At the very least, it wasn’t an edible concoction. Coughing slightly, Ryou fumbled around in the cloud of smoke, searching for a window to open.

Bakura perhaps out to have been used to sudden outbursts of magic now. This was not his first occasion of suddenly finding himself swept off his feet, a whirlwind of magic blazing past him and bumping him unceremoniously onto the ground.

He managed to land on his hands, toes and one knee. A position from which he promply dropped and rolled to get away from the smoke and the coughing. The roll came with an unavoidable clatter as all the trinkets in his hair swayed. But if there was one thing all these magical incidents tended to have in common, well. He hadn’t been doing anything, he could stand to wait to see if this cougher was yet another magic miswielding attractive man.

Luckily he still had the yellow paint swirled artistically around his eyes, a spell of sight which let him see the lines of the world. There was definitely a someone, and smoke wouldn’t hide him for- 

“Ryou?”

Bakura writhed on Baku’s shoulder as they neared the apartment.

“Why did you take me away when I was having fun,” he said before he slumped against the other again.

“What bad would staying have done?”

Hunting in the Low Light

Starter for @magical-bakuras

Entering the city proper always felt like he was pushing himself through some barrier that was invisible and intangible to all but him. Leaving the safety of his uninhabited forest, leaping across rooftops in the outer residential areas - these things weren’t frightening. It was when he really made it to the city, where in all directions the way was blocked by buildings that were really just towers to store his living, moving meat, that was when he felt the discomfort prickling his skin.

Unfortunately this was also where the easiest meals tended to be. Where there were tourists and drunks, people high on the bright neon lights and their inhibitions thrown to the wind like so much discarded confetti. Where there were streetlights to hide upon and alleys to duck down, and the air was sticky with smoke and the grime of that always built up in human nests.

Bakura, or ‘Inca’ as he occasionally went by because humans liked short and catchy sounds, wrinkled his nose and made his way deeper in. He’d already caught a scent to follow, someone whose aura smelt far more delicious than the usual sweet taste of humans. Smokey and sharp. He licked his teeth, breathed in to perfect his human-like swagger, and followed his nose. Followed the man in the coat and heavy boots, who was thankfully seeming to stay away from the main populated areas. A rare perfect victim.

Truth serum: Your favourite child ?

“It’s not something I’d ever thought of...

Shadow Ryou Bakura is a shadow being, the only one like me I’ve ever met before. He reminds me so much of myself when I was new, the way he feels and the way he is.

Lion is a human, something I used to dream about being. He’s smart. He’s cheerful. He tries to be good to people. He embodies everything that is good in humans, like Necrofia.

Kamil is a tiny baby. I love to take care of him, I like the work and the structure he gives. He’s not a person yet, but I like when he calls me Eeti and when he pulls on my hair.

I suppose ... Shadow Ryou Bakura. I’ve known him the longest, and he’s the most similar to me in many ways. But I love all of them.”

“Oh no, I’m being eaten by the darkness!” Lion laughed, waving his arms around.

Godling laughed while he dumped the rest of his blanket haul on the mattresses.

“Oh no~ What will you do now?” When his arms were empty he turned on Lion and scooped him up, dropping him on the soft bouncy pile of soft fabric on top of two layers of springs. “Make the nest. Do you want snacks? Juice?”

Night Time Routine

@magical-bakuras

“Not here.” Godling chuckled, ans wrapped his arms around Lion’s shoulders from behind thus preventing him from getting up to fix his own mistake. “I’m sure you’ll be comfy back at your bed. Yes?”

The god stood up, easily scooping the teen up in his arms to carry him back to his room like a precious pet. “If you like this, we could do this most nights. I’d like to spend more time with you.”

I’m not going to let Thief ruin my evening. He lost me. He lied and yelled and lost me. I’m going to have a good evening with my son.
